<br />Appraiser Activity: Tax Petition Related
<br />
<br />Minnesota Tax Court has been established by the Minnesota Legislature for the purpose of
<br />hearing only tax related cases. The Court’s judges have expertise in tax laws and apply that
<br />knowledge in a manner to ensure that taxpayers are assessed in a fair and equitable way.
<br />
<br />The tax petition process is a complicated and ever-changing part of our business. The entire
<br />process continues to consume a large amount of our Commercial/Industrial/Apartment appraiser
<br />workload.
<br />
